ajay Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 List is not in order but 2794 2788(?) 2604 2798 2796 2802 2805 2699 & 2608 are confirmed retired. They are in the back of South Division alongside the NABIs. Edit: 2808 2810 2809 2807 and a 281x unit(trees were blocking my photo. But it’s probably 2816) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2009 models (except 2788) are vehicles that were operated by contractors First Student - Westmont and MV-Romeoville on Metra rush hour shuttles that have not run since 13th April 2020.

Maybe the conductors didn't maintain them well or those buses have been sitting up so long it would be expensive to bring those buses up to a good state of repair to put them back in service.

andrethebusman Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 I suspect they are not "retired" but "stored serviceable" pending a decision whether Metra feeders will run again. At this point they are still "suspended", not "discontinued". If they do come back, they will go back into service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the Metra shuttle return. There will be buses retiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajay Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 There’s not a single bus at the back of South Division. But they moved the (possibly) retired EZ Riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back is completely cleaned out. I did saw some EZ Riders but they got moved to around the side of the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
